This post has been a long time coming, but I got there eventually. May I present, red velvet brownies. I love red velvet cake, I love brownies, why not combine them? Turns out it’s a lot harder than I originally thought, so when my own attempts turned out to be quite spectacular failures, I eventually turned to the latest Hummingbird Bakery cookbook for help. (If only I got a penny for each time I’ve mention them on my blog!) Continue reading “Red Velvet Brownies”
Snickerdoodles are one of my favourite snacks, but they can be quite time consuming to make, so when I came across a recipe on Averie Cooks for Snickerdoodle Bars, it was the answer to my Snickerdoodle laziness.

Lemon, coconut and almonds – what more could you ask for in a dessert? I saw the recipe for this on John Whaite’s blog and knew I’d have to give it a try. It’s a bakewell-like tart, so if you like frangipane, you’ll like this one! Continue reading “Lemon & Coconut Tart”
